“The monk does not submit irrationally to a man, but lives the mystery of obedience, this wondrous mystery, which demands from him a profound and essential denial of every inner want, attachment, and adherence to the sinful ego, and a total dedication to the Heavenly Father. Consciously abandoning his existence to the will of God, and having cut off every bond with and allegiance to the ailing old man, the disciple stands before the King of Glory and cries: ‘Speak, Lord, and Thy servant hears through his Elder what is Thy holy will.’” —“I: The Spiritual Security of the Monk: Profound Unity with His Elder”
